I am replacing a 2 foot strip light with an F20 lamp. The ballast comes with 1 black wire, 1 blue wire, and 1 white wire coming out of one side, and 2 red wires coming out of the other. I had to replace both sockets as well. My question is...the old socket was a circuit interrupting socket where the white feed wire goes in one side and the other white wire from the socket goes to the ballast. The new sockets are standard tombstones. Howe do I wire it in to make it work without the circuit interrupting socket?

Are you replacing the ballast ? If so, new ballast should have a wiring diagram on it. Just wire it as shown. Electronic ballasts do not need the circuit interupting tombstones.
Personally, I would take the stuff back and buy a newer t8 (or possibly t5) fixture, unless there is something special about your current fixture.
